Is arranging to spend an evening with TH and [J. J.] Lister.
Thanks TH for some crystals, including borax, as well as a paper by J. J. Lister. JH has been cutting the borax crystals preparatory to grinding and polishing them; JH has used these crystals to observe a phenomenon previously seen with a mass of niter.
Makes arrangements for a visit to TH to see some of J. J. Lister's experiments. JH is sending TH some gelatinous matter that JH found in JH's telescope.
